[Verse 1: Mike Donehey]
Oh I try to fix your heart
But I leave with broken parts
Like a criminal would
I try to cover you with love
But the damage has been done
Will I ever be enough?
If I could take us far from here
Make the trouble disappear
You know that I would
If I could make the burden light
Put the stars back in your eyes
I wish that I could
[Chorus: Mike Donehey]
Tell me, it’s gonna get better
It’s gonna get better
It’s gonna get better
Is it gonna get better?
Tell me it’s gonna get better
Tell me it’s gonna get better
It’s gonna get better
Cause it’s gotta get better
[Verse 2: Mike Donehey]
Will it always be this hard
Like we’re driving through the fog
Waiting for the sun
One day we’ll watch it burn away
We’ll be amazed we chose to stay
I pray that we would
[Chorus: Mike Donehey]
Tell me, it’s gonna get better
It’s gonna get better
It’s gonna get better
Is it gonna get better?
Tell me it’s gonna get better
Tell me it’s gonna get better
It’s gonna get better
It’s gotta get better
[Bridge: Mike Donehey]
It may never be easy
But it gets better believe me
It may never be easy
So tell me now
You’ll never leave me
[Refrain: Kelly Donehey]
It's gonna get better
It's gonna get better
It's gonna get better
[Chorus: Mike & Kelly Donehey]
Tell me, it’s gonna get better
Will it always be this hard
It’s gonna get better
Like we’re driving through the fog
It’s gonna get better
Waiting for the sun
Is it gonna get better?
Tell me it’s gonna get better
One day we’ll watch it burn away
Tell me it’s gonna get better
We’ll be amazed we chose to stay
It’s gonna get better
I pray that we would
It’s gotta get better

The song “Better,” started in my kitchen the summer. Every day I found myself singing the refrain from one of my sister’s songs. “Is it ever going to be easy?!?" Mid-pandemic, post band break up, I was feeling a lot, not to mention a six week quarantine while my family passed Covid around. I kept pr...
